Watch or Not?: Ramaiya Vastavaiya is for people who have a taste in juvenile comedy. This Prabhudeva directorial works unabashedly on regular formula of a hero, a heroine and her staunch elder brother. Expect an average entertainer, this one is a stylishly silly, regular masala rom-com that expects you to leave your brains at home!
An Australian born NRI Ram flows down to India to attend his cousin’s wedding and falls in love with her friend Sona. Despite other women eyeing him, her naïve charm makes our hero go gaga on her.
But one insulting scene between his mother and girl’s brother shatters his perfect picture. Now he must impress a conservative and robust brother, who is fiercely protective of his only sister. The film attempts to celebrates the triumph of a love story that must mend a few impossible fractures to win
Girish Kumar has innocent eyes and that’s all I managed to notice about him. It was bearable sitting through his chimp like acting because he is endearing!
Shruti Haasan is the striking shadow of her mother, in beauty. However, her acting has way to go before it evolves to that! She has a pleasant screen presence to aide her shaky performance which works in her favor.
Sonu Sood is robust and scorching! Yes, it indeed doesn’t match up to the charisma he lent to Chedhi Singh inDabangg but he is undoubtedly good!
Randhir Singh is wonderful as Girish’s father and Vinod Khanna is just as appealing. And both Poonam Dhillon and Satish Shah deserved better roles!
Prabhudeva’s signature flamboyance is what the film reeks of. His first tryst with making a romantic comedy is as good or bad as the rest of his repertoire. However, the film lacks the enigma of his previous films, for the obvious lack of actors that colossal. The screenplay is colorful and doesn’t go insipid but the grotesque sense of humor it imbibes could have been avoided. The music is strictly fine and Jaadu Ki Jhappi is what prevails for Prabhudeva’s maverick like dance.
Verdict:Its childish and regular formulaic affair works if have the appetite for standard entertainer
